I don’t believe electrolysis occurs in a petroleum/oil environment.

I’m not sure, i could ‘google’ it, but my belief is that electrolysis is ‘galvanic’ action between dissimilar metals in an acid-water environment.

Like a strip of steel or zinc, and a strip of copper stuck into a orange or grapefruit. It is an instant battery. BUT it won’t run your cell phone.

So the brass and steel/iron / aluminum will not interact unless it is in a water/ acid solution.
